Tromour Rpgulnr Correspondent. Washington, Jan. i, 1900. Senator Cockrcll, the leading Dem ocratic member of the Senate Com mittee on Military affairs, is strongly opposed to the Republican imperial istic, in reality plan for a large standing army, and intends to fight it every time it shows its head. He said on the subject : "The army establishment is provided for until July 1, 1901. and there is no necessity for legislation at this session on the subject. This gives us a year and a half to consider the matter and decidt what had best be done. I am in favor .of slightly increasing the artillery arm of the service, to take care of our sea coast fortifications, but I do not think there is now, or will be in the near future, any occasion for a permanent increase in the number of infantry or cavalry regiments above that which has been provided for bv law for a number of years." The' Republicans are too shrewd to make any move toward legislation for a large standing army until alter the Presidential election, but there isn't the slightest doubt that they intend doing so at next winter's session of Congress. There is reason to believe that the Lawton fund will reach a total in the neighborhood of $50,000 by next week, when it is to be closed. a Captain Sigsbee and Chaplain Chadwick had charge of the funeral over the bodies of 150 of the crew of the battleship Maine, which was brought from Havana last week, and interred in Arlington cemetery. The ceremonies were very simple. a a Neither Mr. Quay nor his friends are acting like men who are confident of landing that seat in the Senate. They are in reality alarmed because of the large number of Senators who decline to say which way they will vote. a a a The American Protective Tariff League has done many absurd things, but all their eitorts in that lme have oeen eclipsed by a circular letter it has sent to preichers for the purpose of trying to get them to say that church collections are increased by protective tarilt. ihe ministers ot Washington are inclined to resent this attempt to use them for political purposes. One of them Dr. Alex ander Mackay-Smith -who voiced the opinion of most of them, said : "The weather cuts more figure in church collections than any tariff that could be framed. I have noticed that collections frequently fall off as much as half on a rainy Sunday. The attendance at the church is the great est thing to be considered. If the gentlemen who are sending out the circulars can prove that more people go to chuch under a protective tariff than under a tariff for revenue, I will be inclined to think that there is something in their contention." 'a Secretary Gage showed his con tempt for public opinion when he ordered something like a million dol lars a day the receipts ot the govern ment for international revenue taxes deposited in a favored New York bank, pending distribution among other national banks, but he may find himself in hot water on account of that order, as a Senator is quoted as having said of the order : "The only satisfaction Secretary Gage vouchsafes to the country is that 'it is a confiden tial arrangement between the Treas ury and the bank.' That is a queer way to talk about the Government's transactions, and I wouldn't be sur prised if an effort should be made in the Senate to ask some sharp questions about it. I remember that a big muss was kicked up during Mr. Cleveland's administration because a much small er sum of government money was deposited in widely scattered banks. In Jackson's time the same question was raised and the country sat down hard on the scheme." The hearings in the case of Senator Clark, ot Mont., which was to begin Jan. 6, before the Senate com.-nittee on Elections, will be sensational if Senator Clark proves, as he says he HOW'S THIS?

Hall'g family pills are the best. will, that the whole case against him has been a conspiracy, which having filled to prev.-nt the Montana leyjs l.iiure eleciim; him S-.-nitnr, turned its schemes lo.varri the IT S. Senate, with ihc lni;f of t'Mtm;; vm deprived of his seal. Although e.irh witness from Montanmt vi,! cost about $to. I a large number have been summoned by the committee. Kx Senator Faulk ner, ot W. Va, is Senator Clark's chief counsel. While there has been no agreement to that effect, the general tendency to talk among Democratic Senators indicates a strong desire on their part to force a test vote on some of the numerous Philippine resolutions which are now on the table, whence they can be called up at any time, in order that it may be positively known whether a majority ot the Senate in tend to stand by Mr. McKinley's policy of imperialism. There is also some talk of the advisability of a cau cus of Democrats, both Senators and Representatives, shortly after Congress resumes work, for the purpose of mapping out a party policy on all im portant legislation, but there is some strong opposition to this idea, from these Democrats who argue that the Republicans being in full control of all branches of the government, the wisest plan for the Democrats is to formulate no specific policy, but to assume the role "Bi'er fox, he lay low," and content themselves with showing up Republican blunders." TWENTIETH CENTURY'S 1JAWN Tho Friendly Islanders will he the First Peo ple) to Hail its Advent. "The first people to live in the twentieth century will be the Friendly Islandeis, for the date line, as it may be called, lies in the Pacific Ocean just to the east of their group," writes John Ritchie, Jr., in the January La dies" Home Journal, of "Where the Next Century wili Really Begin.'' "At that time, although it will be already Tuesday to them, all the rest of the world will be enjoying some phase of Monday, the last day of the nineteenth century December 31, 1900. At Melbourne the peop'e will be going to bed, for it will be nearly ten o'clock; at Manila it will be two hours earlier in the evening ; at Calcutta the Eng lish residents will be sitting at their Monday afternoon dinner, for it will be about six o'clock ; and in London, 'Big Ben,' in Ihe tower of the House of Commons, will be striking the hour of noon. In Boston, New York and Washington half the people will be eating breakfast on Monday morning, while Chicago will be barely conscious of the dawn. At the same moment San Franciseo will be in the deepest sleep of what is popularly called night, though really the early, dark hours of Monday morning, and half the Pacific will be wrapped in the darkness of the same morning hours, which become earlier to the west, until at Midway or Brooks Island it will be but a few minutes past midnight of Sunday nignt. " Consumption (Jaused by Milk In an aiticle published in the Medi cal and Surgical Reporter, Dr. Mc Queston, the writer, says: "Con sumption is the result of drinking cow's milk, and where milk is not used the disease is said not to occur. I mean just what I say, no more, no less. I lie primary cause ot consumption is the drinking of cow's piilk. I do not mean that every single case of phthisis is attributable directly to the patient s having imbibed in fected cow's milk though even so strong a statement as that is very neatly true but I do mean to say that if the American people stopped using cow's milk, tuberculous con sumption would soon disappear. Let me put it another way : In countries where cow's milk is not used tubercu lous consumption is not known. In China there is no milk consumed, and consumption is almost an. Unknown quantity. Take the steppes of Asiatic Russia. Only goat s milk and mare's milk is used there. Consequently there is no consumption. " The same condition is, or was until recent ly, true of the South Sea islanders no cows, no tuberculous diseases. Take the North American Indians be fore the white man brought his whisk ey and his cows among them. They had no word in the Indian language that corresponded to consumption. A few cases may be produced by per sons inhaling the dried sputa, and some may be inherited, but the great cause, and the first cause, is the use of cow's milk as food."

It seems a fitting time, on the eve of the new year, and when many ot nciais-eiect in every county of the State are about to be inducted into office, to recall and emphasize some ol tne salutary lessons that were given careless public servants during the past twelve months. Through an epidemic ot political decadence, or in the perpetration ot recent unsavory practices in office, some local govern ments had drifted into questionable conditions, and the officers seemingly oblivious of their pledges to duty. wnaiever the respective causes tor lack of faithful stewardship- whether carelessness, ignorance or prerogative or dishonestly the shortcomings re fleet upon those who are derelict. But an age has come when the courts ! ''lnc, bodies of taxpayers are taking a nanu in seeing mat tne public inter ests are not abused, and present am! coming public officials should be guarded in the responsibilities intrust ed to them. Notably, in all of the actions that were :aken to bring about a surchar; of public funds that were unduly taken, the efforts hi.ve met with success. In other words, the evidence justified the charges. In Schuylkill county, through the intervention of the Taxpayers' Association, several Commissioners were convicted of crime, and a halt was beside called on a system of plun der that had held sway for years Bucks county citizens appealed to Judge Yerkes against the extortionate prices that Court house officers had been paying for supplies, and that eminent jurist gave judgment for a re funding of some $900 to the county on one Kind ot requisites. McKean county had an experience through the Auditors refusing to approve illegal expenditures, and by order of the Court the money was refunded to the local Treasury. Careful and worthy Auditors in Chester county took ex ception to illegal fees that had been taken by the Sheriff, Prothonotary, Clerk ot the Courts and Jury Commis sioners, and the testimony sustained the Auditors. As a result the over indulgent officers have reimbursed the county in the sum of $812. In Brad ford county apieals by the taxpayers terminated last week in a refunding of $11,000 by ex-Commissioners, and preliminary steps have been taken in York county as the result of an ad monition to the Auditors from Judge Bittenger that promises a reimburse ment of extortionate sums that were taken. If the Au litors shall do their duty in York, as the Court may be expected to compel, a fair investiga tion would uncover one of the great est scandals that has yet developed. The average man who assumes pub lic office is honest, but under the per suasion of certain party bosses with out conscience, or in adherence to a common usuage that permits undue atitude, some officia's fall into a state of disquietude. Ex. First Usq of the Word. The word 4,God" never appeared in any government act until 1864, when at the suggestion of the director of the mint, ex Governor Pollock, "In God We Trust" was stamped on the copper two cent piece. Before that time "E Pluribus Unum" had been the motto. Strange to relate "E Pluribus Unum" on coins never was authorized by law. Like Topsy, it just grew. Nearly all the state con stitutions mention God. The list of dead and injured during the football season just over is excep tionally large. The game caused eleven deaths, which are pretty even ly distributed east and west. Sixty seven men were seriously hurt. A significant fact is that most of the casualties happened on minor teams, where there was a lack of proper training and an absence of science. Six'out of fourteen students at law who applied, passed an examination for admission to the Schuylkill County bar. 5 WEtilZ LWU&'IZ a iTell I tin- ( ,"!-.
